The Seattle Times came out with another bad editorial about how light rail will ruin the city, we need more roads, etc. Seattle Subway responded by posting this on their facebook:

It'd been equally accurate to say only one will exist twenty-five years from now (if you're lucky, it could easily be neither).

I am not surprised the Seattle Times does not support a modern transit system, since only old people read it at this point and navigating around their site is a transit disaster in itself.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:http://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/editorials/consider-actual-benefits-from-sound-transit-3/ The Seattle Times is a necessary evil, since they do have some state reporting that's important and is keeping some tabs on people. But their editorial board is awful people handpicked by the owner himself. The owner being a tea partier, which really ought to give you an indication about how he feels about things.

Pretty much all I read is the headlines of the first page of each section, once you know the writer's styles you can guess 95% of the rest of the article. Never read editorials, it's stupid and pointless.

It's super important to keep local news papers alive but good god I cannot bear the thought of supporting the Seattle times. How did our only surviving, viable paper in this super liberal part of the country end up being the conservative one?

I agree that local papers are incredibly valuable, but I'm lucky that my hometown paper is still reasonable (I'm in Eugene).

Yeah, I generally get local reporting for Seattle from blogs like Publicola and Seattleish, with a quick run-through of the Stranger now and then. And of course, associated Twitter feeds. Add the hyper local Capitol Hill Seattle blog, and there you go.

HEY NONG MAN posted:All the good coverage went to hyper local neighborhood blogs. Not joking. West Seattle blog is astounding. Absolutely astounding. But the problem is, as great as they are, they'll never have the resources to put together a deep investigation into say a corruption scandal. I don't see the way to keep papers in business though. No idea how that gap will be filled.

Accretionist posted:Didn't papers used to be family-owned prestige/noblesse oblige affairs? That is the Times, it's still owned by the Blethens. The PI was eventually part of the Hearst empire, and the Hearst Corporation still owns the name. Big newspapers were never an organ of the common people. There were smaller ones, and newsletters, but being a big paper usually meant you were backed by a rich person looking to make themselves look more philanthropic. Just ignore that owning the paper meant you can block out stories that would make you or or companies look bad. Those days never left, they just moved to be corporations owned by the families instead of direct ownership.

Are you getting tired of Bundy trial updates? I am, but I still feel we should keep generally abreast of the trial. Ammon Bundy is going to take the stand. The judge has forbidden the defense from bringing up the entire issue of federal land ownership, and Ammon Bundy, unlike his brother Ryan, has managed to stay fairly focused. It will be interesting to see if he will try to stay focused, or if he will go off on a tangent. There has actually been few or no contempt findings in this trial, which is a bit surprising. It will be interesting to see if this changes that. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ammon-bundy-testify-trial_us_57f32508e4b0d0e1a9a96598 glowing-fish fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Oct 4, 2016 |

Pander posted:Betting odds on, when things go badly, he goes full sovcit? Correct me if I wrong, but isn't he taking the stand specifically to bring up adverse possession as a state of mind defense? At least, I read that a couple places. But, in the process of justifying his actions as adverse possession, doesn't he basically have to concede that it was a conspiracy to occupy the refuge at the exclusion of the government? So unless he's going for full-on nullification (it's this one, isn't it, he thinks he's going to launch into a Hollywood-esque monologue that results in an instant acquittal) isn't he screwing himself and the rest of the defendants by opening up a lot of topics the prosecution hasn't been able to bring in?
